Group Buy/Interest - 2011 Rear View Camera

r9u8t0 · 12-28-2010, 11:30 AM

Dizzy,

I was in the same boat you're in, hadn't worked on a car in 30+years but when I tackled the installation I found Brian's instructions flawless and very well thought out. I have a roadster to and the only problem I had was running the camera wire from the trunk to the interior of the car. Brian's install was for a coupe and there was no way I could fish the wire through the center of the car. I think it had to do with where and how the top retracts. But I found a very easy was to access the the interior and keep the wire completely hidden. I send Brian the pictures of where I took the wire. Hope this helps.

I appreciate the feedback guys. If I can still get a kit, I'll give it a try.

PM sent.

Could I get those pictures? I am installing on my Roadster soon and would love the help!

Anyone around Los Angeles who would want to help me install this? I had to put it off till after I moved out that way.
Thanks,
Tim

I just got my Nav tool yesterday. Any recommendations on camera. When it comes to optics, generally I would rather spend a little more than not enough.
